Refining a Body
The Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet stood silently to one side like a loyal guardian deity, its Pure Gold eyes emitting a cold and sharp light as it opened and closed, vigilantly scanning its surroundings and keeping out all potential threats.
Xiao Yi Xian had already ended her brief seclusion and stood gracefully beside Lin Ming. Her beautiful face showed a hint of anticipation and nervousness, and her gaze kept shifting between Lin Ming and the Cold Jade Pill Bottle that sealed the Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill.
"Now that the pill has been successfully refined, the next step is to begin refining a body for Elder Yao..." Lin Ming took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly, suppressing his excitement and trepidation.
With a casual wave of his hand, the enormous Medicinal Cauldron in front of him, which had just undergone the baptism of the Pill Lightning and still radiated residual warmth, transformed into a stream of light and was stored in his Storage Ring. Immediately afterward, he waved his hand again, and an invisible suction force erupted from his palm, causing a skeleton that shimmered with a faint golden light and exuded an ancient and vicissitudes aura to flash out of the Storage Ring and float steadily in mid-air.
The remains were large, over eight feet tall. Even though they had long since lost their Life Aura, one could still glimpse their imposing stature and robust bones, revealing their former grandeur and strength.
The skeleton was a dark gold color, with faint, natural, mysterious patterns flowing across it. Even after countless years, it still exuded a terrifyingly powerful aura and an immortal presence! These were the marks left by time, and also proof of its profound cultivation in its lifetime.
This remains are the Half Sage body that Lin Ming obtained after countless near-death experiences deep within the perilous Barbarian Race Land, in the legendary Saint Demise Valley countless powerful figures had perished!
Half Sage's body—that's something only one step away from the Dou Sage Realm. Its physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary Dou Venerate. Even after many years of decline, a faint Saintly Might still lingers in its bones, inspiring awe. Using such a body as the vessel for Elder Yao's rebirth is undoubtedly the best choice. Not only can it restore Elder Yao to his peak combat power, but it may even allow him to break through to a higher realm with the help of this Half Sage's body!
This is the perfect physical vessel that Lin Ming prepared for Elder Yao! With the bones of Half Sage as the foundation, Elder Yao's potential and starting point after his resurrection will far surpass what he had before!
After summoning the remains, Lin Ming slowly closed his eyes, and the ancient and profound body refining method recorded in the Storage Ring left by the Venerable Yao began to flow rapidly through his mind.
In his mind, the profound methods of refining the body flowed slowly like a clear spring. Every detail, every key point, was repeatedly pondered and memorized by Lin Ming.
After a long while, Lin Ming suddenly opened his eyes, a look of understanding and determination flashing in them, and nodded silently.
With another wave of his hand, an invisible gust of wind roared out from Lin Ming's palm, like an invisible giant hand steadily supporting the heavy Half-Saint Remains, adjusting it to the most suitable angle for refining, and suspending it in mid-air.
"Elder Yao, it's time to begin," Lin Ming said in a deep voice.
A flash of light appeared on the Storage Ring, and Yao's slightly ethereal yet excited and expectant Soul Body floated out, nodding heavily. "Lin Ming, go ahead and do it! I trust you!"
With everything prepared, Lin Ming said no more. He took a deep breath, and his internal Dou Qi began to circulate wildly, emanating a scorching aura from his body.
With his hands forming a hand seal and a thought flashing through his mind, he flipped his palms, and a ball of purplish-red flame suddenly appeared. The flame contained wisps of black lines and exuded a chilling Destructive Aura. It was none other than the Heavenly Flames Lin Ming had fused with— the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame!
The moment the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame appeared, the surrounding air was instantly scorched and distorted, the temperature soared, and even the space itself seemed to melt from the terrifying heat.
Xiao Yi Xian subconsciously took a few steps back, circulating her Dou Qi to resist the scorching heat, while the Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet beside her remained motionless, a faint halo flashing across its golden body, easily insulating it from the high temperature.
This time, the flames are not used for attack or alchemy, but for the most precise forging and fusion!
"Puff!"
Lin Ming flicked his finger, and the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame, as if guided, pounced on the Half-Saint Remains, instantly enveloping them.
The crimson flames burned fiercely, like a giant cocoon of fire, completely enveloping the remains, with only the dark golden outline of the skeleton faintly visible in the flames.
"Elder Yao, grant me a sliver of your primordial Soul Power!"
This is a crucial step, requiring a wisp of Elder Yao's Soul Origin to be used as a "catalyst" to first integrate into the remains, establishing the initial connection and laying the foundation for the subsequent complete incorporation of the soul.
The moment the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame enveloped the remains, Lin Ming spoke in a deep voice to Elder Yao was already impatient beside him.
At this moment, Elder Yao still existed in the form of Soul Body, his figure illusory, like a transparent shadow, but his eyes were flashing with excitement and anticipation as he stared intently at the burning flame.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yao, who was already prepared, did not hesitate at all. A faint but pure Soul Power immediately separated from between his brows. This Soul Power was like a thin silver thread, slowly drifting towards Lin Ming, carrying Elder Yao's endless expectations.
Lin Ming grabbed the Soul Power containing the life imprint of Elder Yao, feeling the familiar heat and anticipation within it. Without hesitation, he flicked his wrist and precisely injected the Soul Power into the space between the eyebrows of the remains enveloped by the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame!
The moment the Soul Power merged, the originally lifeless dark golden bones seemed to tremble slightly.
After doing all this, Lin Ming then grabbed at the air with his palm, and the Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill placed on the jade platform next to him was pulled by an invisible force and floated in front of Elder Yao's Soul Body.
Looking at the Jade Bottle in front of him, Elder Yao did not hesitate to open the bottle with a "snap," and a rich aura of vitality instantly spread out.
The Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill was drawn out of the Pill Bottle. The pill, about the size of a longan, still shimmered with a halo of interwoven blue, white, and red colors. Although the spirit on the surface of the pill had been sealed, one could still sense the active Spirituality within it.
Seeing Elder Yao take out the pill, Lin Ming immediately instructed, "Elder Yao, take this Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill. It can repair your damaged soul and replenish your life force. As soon as I give the order, immediately seize the opportunity to enter this Half-Saint Remains. Do not hesitate for the slightest!"
Looking at the pill before him, which had triggered Three-Color Half-Pill Lightning pill lightning and was full of Spirituality energy, Elder Yao's excitement intensified.
With a look of excitement and gratitude in his eyes, Elder Yao Lao glanced deeply at Lin Ming, said nothing, nodded heavily, and immediately stuffed the Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill, which was radiating an alluring aura, into his mouth without hesitation.
As the elixir entered his body, Elder Yao's Soul Body immediately fluctuated violently. A vast and boundless medicinal power, containing miraculous effects of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh and bones, instantly erupted from the depths of his soul! The cool and mellow medicinal power spread throughout Elder Yao's Soul Body like rain after a long drought, nourishing Elder Yao's somewhat weakened soul and making Elder Yao feel full of strength at this moment.
Elder Yao's previously somewhat ethereal body became much more solid at this moment, and his Soul Power seemed to have received a great deal of nourishment and replenishment!
Seeing that Elder Yao had successfully taken the pill and begun to digest its effects, Lin Ming didn't stop. He quickly took out an antique-looking jade Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring.
This Jade Bottle is dark red all over, and its surface is engraved with some strange runes, so it is obviously not an ordinary object.
Inside the Jade Bottle was a viscous, purplish-red blood, from which emanated astonishingly violent energy, carrying a fierce aura. This aura faintly carried the characteristics of Dragon Might and scorpion venom, making the surrounding air seem viscous.
The origin of this blood is no simple matter. When Lin Ming discovered the Eighth-Order Scorpion Dragon Beast's Magic Core in Bing He's Storage Ring, he found this Jade Bottle next to Magic Core. The blood in the Jade Bottle exuded a violent aura that was of the same origin as the Eighth-Order Scorpion Dragon Beast's Magic Core. Lin Ming recognized it at a glance as the Essence Blood of that powerful Eighth-Order Scorpion Dragon Beast!
To create a body capable of accommodating the resurrection of Dou Venerate, one needs not only a powerful skeletal framework and the core energy of the Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill to reverse life and death, but also a powerful Magical Beasts blood medium capable of activating the body's vitality and connecting the bloodlines.
Eighth Order Magical Beast are equivalent to human Dou Venerate level powerhouses. Their Essence Blood contains extremely vast and violent energy, which has unimaginable effects on strengthening the physical body.
The Essence Blood of this Eighth-Order Scorpion Dragon Beast is undoubtedly far superior to that of the Seventh Order Dark Demonic Star Fiend Tiger in the Monster Mountain Range. Not only is its Tier One higher, but the immense Qi and Blood and trace of Dragon Clan Bloodline it contains can greatly enhance the strength and potential of the resurrected body! Using such Essence Blood to refine the Half-Saint Remains will undoubtedly allow this body to radiate even stronger vitality and power.
Lin Ming tightened his grip on the Jade Bottle slightly, and with a crisp "crack," the Jade Bottle burst open. Large clumps of purplish-red Essence Blood instantly dispersed, like patches of purplish-red clouds, slowly writhing in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ming waved his hand rapidly, and a powerful Dou Qi, carrying the purplish-red Essence Blood, was suddenly poured onto the Half-Saint Remains that were enveloped by the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame.
"Hiss--!"
The moment the purplish-red Essence Blood touched the remains, it suddenly erupted with a series of ear-piercing hissing sounds, as if boiling oil had met ice water.
The withered skin that had covered the remains of the Half-Saint Remains was rapidly rotting and peeling off under the erosion of the Essence Blood, revealing the dark golden bones and some long-dried-up meridians beneath.
This seemingly destructive turn of events did not cause Lin Ming's expression to change in the slightest. He had already seen the relevant records in that body refining method. The vitality within the remains had long since become dormant and needed to be washed away and "awakened" with more violent and vital Essence Blood, and used as nourishment to reshape the flesh and meridians!
This is an inevitable process! It's a normal phenomenon.
With just a glance, Lin Ming immediately manipulated the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame to suddenly heat up. The purplish-red flames instantly became even more intense, like roaring fire dragons, frantically scorching the remains and Essence Blood.
